Read the following stories and answer the questions that follow:
|
|
A donkey and a rooster lived peaceably together in the farmyard One day, a hungry lion passed by. His eyes brightened at the sight of the plump donkey, and he thought of the fine meal in store for him. But just as the lion was about to pounce on the donkey, the rooster began to crow. Now, it is said there is nothing a lion hates more than the sound of a cock-a-doodle-doo. Perhaps it is true, for the lion turned and fled at the sound of the rooster's crowing.
|
|
The donkey laughed "Why, the lion is a coward! The mighty king of beasts runs from a rooster." And the donkey felt so bold that he began to chase the lion. He had not gone very far, however, when the lion turned with a great roar, he leapt upon the donkey.
|
|
The rooster, watching from the farmyard, said sadly, "Alas! My poor friend did not realize what he could or could not do."
|
|
"False confidence often leads to misfortune."

Read the following stories and answer the questions that follow:
|
|
In the middle of the big river, the river that began in the mountains and ended in the sea, was a small island. The river swept round the island, sometimes clawing at banks, but never going right over it. A small hut stood on the island, a mud-walled hut with a sloping thatched roof. The hut had been built into a huge rock, so only three of the walls were mud, and the fourth was rock.
|
|
A few goats grazed on the short grass which grew on the island. Some hens followed them about. There was a melon patch and a vegetable patch.
|
|
In the middle of the island stood a peepal tree. It was on old tree. Many years ago, a seed had been carried to the island by a strong wind, had found shelter between two rocks, had taken root there, and had sprung up to give shade and shelter to a small family.
|
|
Grandfather was mending a fishing-net. He had fished in the river for ten years, and he was a good fisherman. He knew where to find the slim silver chilwa, the big beautiful mahseer and the long moustached singhara; he knew where the river was deep and where it was shallow; he knew which baits to use - which fish liked worms and which liked gram. He had taught his son to fish, but his son had gone to work in a factory in a city, nearly a hundred miles away. He had no grandson; but he had a granddaughter, Sita, and she could do them better. She had lost her mother when she was very small. Grandmother had taught her all the things a girl should know. But neither of her grandparents could read or write, and as a result Sita couldn't read or write either.

Once upon a time, a miller and his young son were going along a road. They had their ass with them. Hardly had they covered a few metres when they came across a person who laughed and said, "How foolish both of you are! Can't one of you ride on the ass?" Hearing this, the son rode on the animal, and the father walked along.
|
|
About two hundred metres away, they met an old man who said, "Look at this shameless youngster! He is merrily riding on the ass, while his father is trudging his way." This was enough for the boy to get off the animal. Now, the miller himself rode on it. After five minutes, they met another man who made fun of the old man, saying, "Look at the old man! He's too selfish to think of the young boy." These stinging words made the poor miller get off the ass.
|
|
Now, the father and the son tied the ass to two poles with the help of ropes. They carried the animal on their shoulders, to the great amusement of the passers-by. As they were crossing a bridge over a river, the ass got impatient. It kicked itself free, but was drowned in the deep water.

Read the poem carefully and answer the questions that follow:
|
|
No Men are Foreign
|
|
Remember, no men are strange, no countries foreign
|
|
Beneath all uniforms, a single body breathes
|
|
Like ours: the land our brothers walk upon
|
|
Is earth like this, in which we all shall lie.
|
|
They, too, aware of sun and air and water,
|
|
Are fed by peaceful harvests, by war's long winter starv'd
|
|
Their hands are ours, and in their lines we read
|
|
A labour not different from our own.
|
|
Remember, they have eyes like ours that wake
|
|
Or sleep, and strength that can be won
|
|
By love. In every land is common life
|
|
That all can recognise and understand.
|
|
Let us remember, whenever we are told
|
|
To hate our brothers, it is ourselves
|
|
That we shall dispossess, betray, condemn.
|
|
Remember, we who take arms against each other It is the human earth that we defile.
|
|

Rise, brothers, rise; the wakening skies pray to the morning light,

The wind lies asleep in the arms of the dawn like a child that has cried all night.

Come, let us gather our nets from the shore, and set our catamarans free,
